Gabe looks open if Josh makes a better throw.

Gabe was open…that was a great route concept against the defense minny was running…it’s a shame he was worried about smith cuz he bit hard on the other post route 

 

smith thought they were cooked and makes a desperation dive but thankfully for him josh threw a terrible ball

This is a nothingburger. He's BSing to get clicks. The real internal issue is this team is becoming a team of losers. They better figure that internal issue out.

The foolishness of posts like this were literally pointed out 2 posts above yours...and you submitted it anyway.

 

That's classic.

So you have a lot of personal feelings built in here

 

I do. I have been banging this drum since last season. 4th down aggressiveness has become a sort of mass hysteria among coaches and fans. Ten years ago it was the opposite, you had coaches making goofy decisions where they would be down by 7 points with 3 minutes left and they would punt the ball on 4th and 1 from the 50. Slowly but surely that kind of cowardly decision making fell out of favor - this is a good thing! But now the pendulum has swung way too far in the other direction. Now you'll have coaches leading by 10 points and choosing to go for it on 4th and 5 from the 50. I think the two decisions I just described are equally stupid. Brandon Staley tanked his team's playoff chances with crap like that last year and all along the way I see "analytics" people on Twitter applauding his decision making. Like I said, mass hysteria.

This was 4th and 2 and we go into shotgun and every WR runs into the end zone

 

And that play call would be a problem right? Kind of like; you need 10 yards and every receiver runs to the 7 yard line with the D right on their backs...

 

a poor play call =/= a bad decision.

 

Except that this wasn't a one off scenario. This is the issue with those supposed win percentage probability calculators that seemingly always suggest an aggressive decision. They don't take the team's history into context. We have been terrible both in the red zone and in short yardage situations this year. So here we are with a short yardage red zone play... I don't care what some unexplained algorithm says to do, I am 100% confident that this Bills team in that situation already leading by 10 points should take the FG. It doesn't matter what play we call. The decision is inherently reckless. I'm not talking from a position of hindsight here. I was upset when I saw the offense line up and hoped that we were just trying to draw them Offside. I can actually excuse player execution failures more than I can excuse coaching execution failures like that, because it was a no brainer decision that we flunked.

The vikings would have called much different plays to get the TD instead of taking shots and being able to settle for the FG. That entire drive would have looked different and you have no idea on how that would have played out. Based on how they were moving the ball against our D, they very likely would have gotten the TD

 

Huh? Look at the play by play. What you're saying could have happened is impossible. After that 4th and 2 interception the Vikings drove for a TD. Even being charitable and giving them the PAT they missed it would have been 30-24 Bills at that point. We then go three and out. The next drive is the one where the Vikings drove to the 1 yard line and we all know what happened next. So now it would be 31-30 Vikings and we drive for the game winning FG. Are you saying they would have played defense differently on the last drive if they knew a FG would have won the game instead of tied it? That's quite the stretch.

4th and 1 or less they would QB sneak it every time. I'm fine with that. This was 4th and 2 and we go into shotgun and every WR runs into the end zone. It is a completely over the top decision in a game that we had in hand. This coaching staff has decided it hates FGs and it hates punts to such a degree that we hurt ourselves trying to avoid them. You think that mindset might have creeped into the QB's head too? I'm all for going for it on 4th down when it makes sense, but we have gotten in the habit of doing it any time we're past midfield with less than 5 yards to go. What did going for it on 4th down do for us against the Chiefs? A turnover on downs inside the 10, and a turnover on downs at midfield. Ooh the big bad scary Chiefs, can't afford to play conservatively!

 

I will say this isn't a Bills specific problem, coaches across the league are now terrified that if they don't go for it on 4th down and end up losing the game they will be harassed by the media. Whereas if a coach goes for it on 4th down and loses the game as a result, some amateur math geek on Twitter posts a chart that nobody actually understands which supposedly proves the coach improved his team's win percentage probability by 0.9% and everyone moves on. It's all total crap.

 

I think this team got horrendously over confident after halftime vs the Packers.  
 

AND - Seeing guys dropping like flies it just can’t be good for the collective psyche.  You start “blinking.”  
 

Suddenly you’re playing like trash and think you can’t win anymore.  They have that look like something is going to go wrong.  That’s on the coaches to fix.  
 

Josh Allen has never been at where he is at any level at anything like he is now.  We have truly never seen anything like it - just that his draft pedigree was legit and there was something there that couldn’t be quantified.  
 

How’s he doing handling it all?  For real.  Are the coaches working on his sugar high Josh tendencies?  Are they teaching him how to be perennially an MVP candidate?  How to handle that you are going to get every teams best shot?  That maybe it’s time to just walk off the field after every TD pass and let the fellas celebrate - you go right to the headset with Dorsey.  Look at the Office Tablet.  

 

All fair questions in my opinion.

This makes me feel better with what I thought I saw at the game in my end zone, Devin wasn't open on the last play until it was too late
 

 

 

 

 

Why didn’t Singletary recognize sooner that Brown had his man and he had daylight in front of him immediately?  
 

That’s on scheme - or lack of awareness by Motor to immediately release and call for the pass

Those are definitely fair questions. And throw in: do these coaches know how to coach up a QB into becoming a perennial all pro if the player has the talent? I don't know that that they answer to that is yes.

The Sabres Rasmus Dahlin was quickly playing himself out of the league with previous Sabres coaching.

 

Then he gets a solid coach who knows how to develop a young player, and his game is reinvented totally.

 

Now, he's a legit Norris Trophy candidate, this year.

 

Coaching matters.

Well, on Sunday, his first comments in the post-game PC threw Josh under the bus.

 

You can listen to it you know, at wgr550.com.

 

Instead of a generic, team oriented comment like "we didn't play well enough to win" or similar crap, he directly went to the issue of turning the ball over so many times.  He said "It's really hard to win when you don't protect the ball like that" or similar.

 

Considering Josh fumbled the exchange and made two HORRID interception throws, if those comments don't shine a lot on the QB, I don't know what would.

 

You can just tell; the guy has a TINY *****.  

You can have a Dirk Diggler **** and still point out, after 3 games of horrible turnovers from your QB, that it’s hurting the team.

Our head coach had two timeouts when we got to the 20 Why didn’t he take a time out and talk with his OC and Josh to try to work the ball down the field. He had over a minute left not 10 seconds? Poor coaching on Mickey D. He is fast to use timeouts for his defense to back them up all the time in that situation at the end of the game. It sounds like to me the head coach is only concerned with a Defense  

 

 

[Dr.Sack]

All problems always come back to the coach. In reality this is a team whose offense regressed in 2021 and appears to have climaxed in week 5. Gone are the days where announcers are shocked to see us punt. We are watching 2nd half offensive performances were instead of not blinking they are playing like a blind person.

Hyperbole much?  On what planet was Dahlin going to be quickly out of the league?

Let’s hope those internal issues are Brandon Beane finally realizing that Sean McDermott is Doug Collins. I hope Beane takes a look at the 7-2 New York Giants, with way less talent, and realizes what the real problem is. 

Do the right thing Beane and hire a bright offensive minded HC, or we’re going to waste a generational talent in Josh Allen.

If the Bills don’t win the Super Bowl, they should hire Sean Payton. I said that before the year and believe it more than ever. The window is open and they aren’t playing well. They lose a zillion close games, make mistakes and generally don’t look prepared. This isn’t a “prisoner of the moment” thing either. I’m on record, before this season, with my desire for Payton if they don’t win. Doug Collins is the PERFECT comparison!! Well done

[vincec]

I’m really confused by all these calls for the Bills to run more when they have a poor run blocking OL and middling RBs. The Bills are a pass offense. What they need to do is reestablish the short passing game to help them manage down and distance and take some pressure off Allen to force things downfield. Where is Mackenzie? Shakir? Knox? Singletary/Hines?

I really think Davis should have bent the route.  Morris pulled the safety out of the way, Josh waited for the linebacker to move toward Singletary, and if Davis flattens it's a touchdown.

And when Kirby comes in and drops an opinion there is fact to all of this. 

 

Everyone calling clickbait by Wawrow doesn't get it. He only shows smoke when there is fire. 

 

How justified is Jerry Hughes right now?
